The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

"Prince, you are here!"

"Well, is Ning'er in there?" Su Jingchen, who was dressed in a clear and clean manner, looked at Yun Ya and asked with gentle eyes.

"The young lady is in the room... Prince, the young lady seems to be in a bad mood these days. She always likes to be alone in a daze and always has nightmares at night. The young lady always listens to you the most. Please chat with the young lady." Yun Ya hesitated and said to Su Jingchen.

"Why? Is it because of Su Ruofu? Or Prince Ling?" Su Jingchen frowned.

"I don't know, I just feel that the young lady is not as happy as before." Yun Ya shook her head and replied, feeling a little worried.

"Got it." Su Jingchen lifted the door curtain and walked in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my sister sitting by the window in a daze, wearing thin clothes. The window was wide open, and cold wind was blowing into the room. She didn't even notice me when I came in.

"You have just recovered from a serious illness, why are you opening the window so wide? The cold wind is so strong, aren't you afraid of getting sick again?" Su Jingchen walked over and closed the window tightly to prevent any wind from getting in.

"Brother! Why are you here?" Su Jingning's eyes were full of surprise, his eyes were shining, but the corners of his eyes were a little red.

Su Jingchen didn't reply to her, but just looked at her seriously.

"You've been in a bad mood since you fell into the water. Is there something on your mind?"

Su Jingning didn't expect his elder brother to ask this and paused.

"Is it because of Chen Ruofu?" Su Jingchen continued in a gentle voice. After all, his sister had been very close to Chen Ruofu since childhood.

"No." Su Jingning lowered her head and didn't look at Su Jingchen. But Su Jingchen felt a deep sadness from her.

"Brother, if I make a wrong decision that will harm everyone in the Su family, will you blame me?" Su Jingning looked at Su Jingchen with a rare fragility in his eyes.

Su Jingchen looked at his sister, whose face was pale and almost transparent, and whose expression was fragile, and the deep pain and self-blame in her eyes. Her question made his heart ache.

"No, Ning'er is the treasure of our family. How could I bear to blame you? I will only blame the person who asked you to make the decision." Su Jingchen gently rubbed Su Jingning's hair and coaxed her in a firm and soft voice.

Su Jingning felt a pain in his heart. Yes, no matter what he did wrong, his elder brother never blamed him. But how could he not blame himself! She was the one who killed everyone in the Su family!

She hated Mu Ling! She hated Chen Ruofu! But she hated herself the most! If she hadn't been stupid, how could the Su family bear the infamy and die tragically?

Her cold voice was choked with sobs, the corners of her eyes turned red, and her emotions suddenly broke down.

"But, big brother! You should blame me! It was my fault, I killed my whole family! For one person, I ignored my parents' advice, betrayed the Su family, ran around for him, fought for him, helped him climb to a high position step by step, and then retired after success, happily waiting for him to marry me, but I didn't expect that what I waited for was indeed his betrayal! He and Su Ruofu conspired and colluded to frame the Su family, making the Su family bear the crime of treason! My father and brothers died in that desolate land, no one collected their bodies, and they were exposed in the wilderness! I watched my mother, aunts, and sisters die one by one in front of me, but I was powerless and didn't save anyone! ! I killed everyone in the Su family!"

"I'm afraid! Brother, I'm afraid that you will die because of me again! I'm afraid that I will become the sinner of the Su family again!" Su Jingning held her head, her voice becoming weaker and weaker. Her mind was full of the blood of the Su family in her previous life. She was shocked and scared.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother is here, big brother is still here, everyone is here." Su Jingchen looked at Su Jingning whose emotions were gradually getting out of control, and hurriedly hugged her, coaxing her softly.

He had never seen Ning'er look so vulnerable and frightened. What happened to her?

Su Jingning's out-of-control emotions gradually calmed down amid Su Jingchen's gentle coaxing, and he fell asleep leaning against Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen carefully carried his sister to the bed, and stayed with her for a long time, only leaving after seeing that she was sleeping soundly.

After leaving Lan Ya Pavilion, Su Jingchen thought about the person his sister mentioned. He couldn't think of anyone other than Prince Ling, and murderous aura filled his body. He felt that Ning'er's mood today was very dangerous, and she was suppressing her emotions. Ning'er had always been calm and intelligent, and would never talk nonsense like this. What happened?

"Tu Fei, go and carefully check who the Second Miss has been in contact with recently, especially Prince Ling, from birth to now. Don't let go of any details or even the slightest thing."

"Yes," Tu Fei said with his head down.

In the following days, Su Jingchen came to Lan Ya Pavilion to see Su Jingning every day. When he asked her what she said that day, she just said that she had a dream. He was relieved to see that she had recovered as usual, and thought that she really had a nightmare.

Today is the Fengtian Festival in the imperial capital, a day when the Great Zhou worships the gods in order to remove the filth of previous years and ensure peace and prosperity in the coming year, so that the new year can begin with a clean slate.

Everyone in the mansion couldn't help but smile today. In the morning, a letter came from the northern border, saying that the border had won a great victory. The generals of the Su family were brave and invincible, and they defeated the Western Liang Kingdom step by step. The national strength was greatly damaged, and now they have no energy to fight again.

His Majesty was overjoyed and ordered the Su family to return to the court to receive their rewards and spend a happy new year with their families. Now the army has returned to the court.

When Su Jingning received the news, he understood. It was the same in his previous life. The defeat of Xiliang this time was not only due to the bravery of the Su family's generals, but also because of the civil strife in Xiliang. The King of Xiliang died and the throne was passed to the Fourth Prince. The eldest prince rebelled. Xiliang was now in chaos and was no longer able to fight against the Great Zhou for the next six months.

Fortunately, due to the civil unrest in Xiliang, the Su family was able to reunite. The second uncle, the third uncle, and the brothers had not been home for two years.

"Second sister! Second sister! Have you heard that my father and the others are going back to Beijing!" Su Luowan's excited voice could be heard from a distance.

"Sixth Miss, please slow down." Su Luowan ran so fast that the maid behind her couldn't keep up.

Su Luowan ran into Su Jingning's room panting, her little face flushed and beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Why are you sweating so much?" Su Jingning smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying softly.

He handed her another cup of hot tea, which Su Luowan drank in one gulp.

"Second sister, father and the others are coming back. They broke camp yesterday. Today is Fengtian Festival, and there are still twenty-five days until the New Year. This year, father and brothers can go home to celebrate the New Year!" Su Luowan's eyes were shining, and she danced with joy.

"Yes, I'm finally coming back." Su Jingning looked at Su Luowan with a smile in his almond-shaped eyes.

"Second sister, hurry up and pack up. You are feeling much better now. Today is Fengtian Festival. Let's go to the Fengtian Hall of Qingfo Temple to pray for blessings. We should also pray for father, eldest uncle, third uncle, and brothers, so that everyone will have no worries in the coming year."

"Hurry up, I'm going to find my fifth sister, we'll meet at the door."

Before Su Jingning could respond, he rushed out of the Lan Ya Pavilion in a hurry.

Su Jingning looked at her jumping figure and shook his head. He turned to Yun Qing and Yun Ya and said

"Go and get ready, we're going to Qingfo Temple." She hasn't left the house since her rebirth.

When Su Jingning arrived at the door, Su Luowan and the others were already ready, and the eldest brother was there too. Su Luowan was leaning on the carriage window, saying something that made the eldest brother laugh. When he saw Su Jingning coming out, he waved to her.

"Second sister, come quickly, we are waiting for you!"

Su Jingning told Yun Ya to sit in the carriage at the back, then nodded and walked towards them.

"Brother, are you going to the Qingfo Temple too?"

"Mom is worried about you girls going alone, so she asked me to go with you. Come on in the car and have a good time today. You haven't been out for a long time." Su Jingchen rubbed Su Jingning's head with a doting look in his eyes.

As soon as Su Jingning got on the carriage, Su Luoshu gave him a hand warmer.

"Second sister, hurry up and warm your hands. Your cold has finally gotten better, but you can't be careless."

Looking at the heater in his hand, Su Jingning's cold brows showed a hint of warmth.

Qingfo Temple is located in Dongshan, outside the imperial capital, hidden in the mountains and covered with snow. The wishes made there are very effective, so it is very popular. Today is Fengtian Festival, and the temple is already packed with people.

Su Luoshu leaned on the carriage, looking at the crowded Qingfo Temple, with a clear and beautiful face that looked a little impatient. They had been waiting for half an hour, but they hadn't gone up the mountain yet.

"Why didn't I realize that people in the capital are so devoted to Buddhism before?" She has never believed in ghosts or gods.

"You stay in your equipment room all day long. How do you know what the people in Dijing believe in?" Su Luoting on the side couldn't help but retorted.

"Fourth sister has been hiding in the study all day and only went out today." Su Luoshu replied without losing face.

The two of them were getting impatient. Su Jingning hid in her snow fox cloak and watched the two bickering with amusement. She suddenly realized that the girls in her Su family were good in everything except that they didn't like to go out.

"Wan'er has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?" Su Jingning was just about to lift the car curtain to take a look when Su Luowan rushed in.

"Come on, let's go. We can leave now. Big brother is waiting for us there."

"Today, the Prince of Chen came to the Qingfo Temple to pray for blessings, and all the noble ladies in the imperial capital were here. Now, the Qingfo Temple only allows a few people to go up, and many people were stopped at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, my brother is here." Su Luowan jumped off the carriage, reached out to help Su Jingning out, and let go of his hand when he saw Yun Ya coming over.

"Why is Prince Chen here?" Su Luoting asked with a frown.

"I don't know. Oh, never mind. We are not here to see her anyway. Let's go. It will be too late if we go later." Su Luowan pulled her away.

"Second sister, hurry up and catch up." Su Luowan was wearing a turquoise silk skirt with a cloak of the same color on the outside. She looked lively and cute. Su Luoting, who was wearing a light purple embroidered brocade skirt and had a gentle face, attracted people to look back frequently.

Su Luoshu saw them running away, and pulled Su Jingning to follow them.

Because Su Jingchen was there, Prince Chen's people recognized him, and their journey up the mountain was relatively smooth.

Prince Chen Mu Heng, smart and handsome, talented at a young age, gentle and kind, known as the most talented person in the imperial capital, is the son of the current emperor and the imperial concubine Shu. The emperor dotes on this son very much. All the noble ladies in the imperial capital want to marry him.

Su Jingning sneered in her heart. Gentle and kind, how could there be gentle and kind people in the royal family? The Prince Chen she knew was a vicious and cruel man who could even sacrifice his own princess. In the previous life, in order to compete with Mu Ling for the throne, the Prince Chen offered his beautiful princess to the King of Nanyue in order to seek support from Nanyue. In the end, the Princess Chen could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide on the way to Nanyue to preserve her innocence.

"Second sister, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go, it's our turn now. You must pray well this time to get rid of the illness in your body so that you can be healthy in the coming year." Su Luoshu saw Su Jingning staring at the Buddhist temple in a daze and patted her.

"Okay." Su Jingning looked at the Buddhist temple filled with incense and a solemn atmosphere. She did not believe in Buddhism. If believing in Buddhism was useful, the Su family would not have died tragically in their previous life and bear the infamy, so she only believed in herself.

Su Jingning took the agarwood handed to him by the young master in front of the Buddha statue, bowed devoutly, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Then he knelt on the incense mat with his hands clasped together and closed his eyes.

"I hope that I, Su Jingning, can do my best in this life to protect my family and keep them from worry."

After coming out of the worship, Su Luowan heard from somewhere that there was a thousand-year-old peach tree in Qingfo Temple, which could pray for marriage or fulfill one's wishes, and she insisted on going to see it. She didn't want to go, but she saw that her other two sisters also wanted to go.

"You guys go ahead. I don't really want to go. I'll wait for you here."

"Brother, you should take the sisters with you. There are so many people here, so please keep an eye on them."

Su Jingning was too lazy to walk anymore, and was worried about the crowds in Qingfo Temple, so she told Su Jingchen that she was not worried as long as her elder brother was there.

Su Jingchen looked at his sister with a tired look on her brows, then looked at Su Luowan and the other two who had already run away, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then you just wait here for us, we'll be back soon."

"Um"

Su Jingning stood in front of the pavilion of Qingfo Temple, listening to the distant bell sounds and watching the snow and fog rolling in the mountains. The resentment in his heart since his rebirth seemed to be soothed and calmed down a little.

"Amitabha, the donor is Miss Su Er." A young monk in green clothes bowed slowly towards Su Jingning and asked.

"Who are you?" Yun Ya stopped the little monk vigilantly.

"Yun Ya, don't be rude."

"I'm Su Jingning. I wonder what the little monk wants to talk to me about?" Su Jingning nodded at Yun Ya and asked the little monk.

"My dear monk Wuhe, Master Huihai said that you are the person he has been waiting for. I wonder if I can meet you." The young monk Wuhe replied with his head down.

"Master Huihai?" Su Jingning was puzzled, with a hint of danger in her almond-shaped eyes. She had heard of Master Huihai of Qingfo Temple, whose Buddhist teachings were boundless and saved countless people. Even the current emperor respected him very much, so how could he know her?

"That's right. Grandmaster said that he would not force Second Miss Su. If you want to see her, just follow me. If you don't want to, Grandmaster said that you will have the chance to meet again in the future." The little monk bowed his head and saluted Su Jingning.

Su Jingning looked at the handsome little monk and hesitated for a while. Since the master said so, she knew that she would definitely meet Master Huihai in the future. It would be better to find out what the other party wanted to do today. Su Jingning whispered to Yun Ya:

"Yun Ya, wait here. I'm going to go see Master Hui Hai."

"But Miss, you don't know that master at all, so you can't trust him." Yun Ya stopped Su Jingning worriedly.

"It's okay. I'll be back soon." After saying that, he followed the young monk Yuanhe.

The young monk Yuanhe led Su Jingning all the way to the back mountain of Qingfo Temple. The back mountain of Qingfo Temple was quiet and peaceful, with ancient trees lingering. The young monk did not speak to Su Jingning along the way, but quietly led Su Jingning to a small green bamboo courtyard, which was quiet and elegant. He did not go in, but just bowed at the door.

"Master, Miss Su Er is here."

Then he bowed his head and saluted Su Jingning.

"Miss Su, please go in. The master is waiting for you in the courtyard."

Su Jingning bowed his head and bowed slightly in return, then walked into the yard.

There were many green bamboos planted in the courtyard. Although it was winter, they were still green and full of vitality. Su Jingning walked around the green bamboo forest and saw Master Huihai, who was wearing a brown robe and meditating under the eaves with a compassionate face.

"Su Jingning has met Master Huihai. I wonder why the master wants to see my daughter." Su Jingning bowed to Master Huihai and asked softly.

Huihai opened his eyes and looked at Su Jingning. His eyes that saw through the world seemed to penetrate Su Jingning's disguise and see her wounded soul.
